what is this all about.

the thread seems to be about people who believe they wear their nuts on the out side coz they are gonna take down big trees and people jumping on board and saying how they want to help. this is all s''t got money on it some of these people have 'tree care' in their names or on advertising and i see no care in removing trees coz of the age. obviously i havent seen them and cant say but all old trees hollow for stability purposes and i see no remarks as to using them for conservation or allowing the trees to live on except as log wood. in the industry where we are all to happy to criticise up and coming lads and people who we class as pikeys we even slate female climbers and generally put people down. well this i see as no exception to general pikey work. some bloke who is to wrapped up in tv and people patting him on the back and not actually thinking about the trees that were here before him and should be here after him because he seems to believe that he has some devine power over determining the fate of a feat of nature. examples of the brilliants of trees should be promoted and made for people to see why we have the facination that we do. not so we can talk crap in the pub to people who dont care. i see this as no great achievement but as another failing in our industry. the slap dash attitude and self belief of greatness over nature. makes us no better than people who plough through woodlands to build a road. just the thoughts and opinions of a guy who actually cares about the job he does.

 

Suppose your not to struck on line clearance,Rail work or any other utility works that take place across the country either ?

Id love to be involved if i could depending on when it is. Happy dragging stuff about to chip, more than anything I'd just like to be there, to witness it. It's a pretty big deal when two trees like that go down.

I fail to see the connection between the felling of two historic specimen trees,and the cutting back,pruning,felling,topping or what ever of mainly hedgerow and other common place trees?

 

Thats like comparing the demolition of a council estate with the demolition of a stately home:heeeelllllooooo:

Makes me think of the film "American beauty" :wave:

trees such as these elms are hardly in the same boat as , hawthorn and poplars which contribute to the majority of utility arb work

[Mr Ed]

Take it from me, I slaughter thousands of hawthorn, Poplar, sycamore, willow and oak for utility clients every year, but would still shed a tear over the felling of these Elms.

Apologies if the point came across wrong, what I was trying to get across is there is obviously a good reason for these trees to come down and someone is putting some effort into sharing the experiance with others and recording it for use in the future.

 

The reason for mentioning the utilities sector was because the chap seemed to just about slate every sector in the workplace apart from utilities.:wave:
